. >> christine, we heard mitt romney the last hour just say that the reason unemployment is down because there are so many people that stopped looking for work and what he says is that if you take a look at the number of people who were all seeking jobs, if they were actually included in that number, the real unemployment rate would be 11% because it would include all those folks that are certaining for work, instead of dropping out. does that look accurate? >> yes. here's why. if you look at something called the labor force participation rate, meaning the share of adult workers who are either in the labor market or looking for work, that has gotten smaller and smaller. it's the smallest since 1981 right now. that meensz people have left the labor market, so if you were -- and a lot of economist read these numbers -- if you were to looking look at the labor force participation rate from the day president obama took office and use that same size of the labor force today, you would have an unemployment rate more like 11%, not 7.8%. so on the very basis of that statistic, he is correct, but
